I'm Chaktaw, Chipawa & Cherokee
Spanish, Dutch & East Indies
Maybe African American
I Am An American

Dosen't matter if you are
Red, White or BLUE
FOR ALL THOSE MEN & WOMEN
WHO WENT TO FIGHT & DIE FOR YOU
They were all Americans
Living & diying for the right
To be an American

I'm Chaktaw, Chipawa & Cherokee
Spanish, Dutch & East Indies
Maybe African American
I'm An American

We are centuries old
In this melting ***
God gave us life
And we should not have forgot
We live in a nation that
Honors those before
As Americans we deplore
Hatred, Bigotry &
So much more

I Am Chaktaw, Chipawa & Cherokee
Spanish, Dutch & East Indie
Maybe African American
I Am AnΒ Β American

Under a nation I was BORN, I am
No choice did I have
But here I am
The fruit of my FATHERS
I am an American
Born, Raised, Educated
A product of my society
I Am An American
After something my Aunt said," do you think your grandmother had some black in her" I AM AN AMERICAN< Doc
